Central Park is a gated community on the east side of Bradenton, a place built around walkable green space and family-friendly streets in fast-growing Manatee County. It sits close to the river corridor that runs through neighboring Braden River East and the established pockets of Oneco, with easy access to the Lakewood Ranch school zone. Downtown Tampa is about 54 minutes away and Tampa International roughly 64, so you're day-trip close without living in the traffic.
For buyers, this is a mid-market suburban play with real inventory turnover. There are 9 active listings today with a median list price of $499,000, and homes are moving — 53 sold in the last year at a median of $459,000. Sellers are capturing about 97% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but not a lot of slack, and the 50-day median on market means well-priced homes don't linger. Compared with waterfront-heavy areas like Heritage Harbour or Bay Shore Gardens, Central Park leans toward newer gated product at a steadier price point.
Central Park is a community in Bradenton, Florida.

Central Park FAQs
Is Central Park a good place to live?+
It's a gated, family-oriented community in east Bradenton with a strong school assignment — Lakewood Ranch High, Dr Mona Jain Middle, and B.D. Gullett Elementary. The green-space layout and controlled access appeal to buyers who want suburban calm with quick reach to the Braden River corridor and larger Bradenton amenities.
Is Central Park expensive?+
It's a mid-market community, not a luxury one — the median list price is $499,000 and homes span roughly $358,900 to $785,750. There are no active listings above $1M, so pricing stays grounded compared with waterfront-driven areas nearby.
What do homes cost in Central Park?+
The median list price is $499,000 and the median home runs about 1,915 square feet at $250 per square foot. Over the past year, 53 homes sold at a median of $459,000, so actual closings land a bit below current asking prices.
How is the market right now?+
It's balanced and active — 9 homes are listed today and 53 sold over the last 12 months, with a median of 50 days on market. Sellers are getting about 97% of asking, which signals steady demand without runaway bidding, similar to the pace in nearby Oneco.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect a median HOA of about $208 per month, which reflects the gated setup and shared community upkeep. Median property taxes run around $5,493 per year, so factor both into your monthly carrying cost.
